if that dont cure it......get a haynes manual......and replace the rotor arm and dizzee cap....(distributor cap).....

thn try going down the scrapyard and getting a ignition coil.......no point going new unless you have money to burn...(ignition coil is gunna cost you £90+)

:thumbs:


all spot on with the ignition coil u meaning the coil pack ? just never heard it called ignition coil b4 :D


some older cars have a ignition coil.......like a round cylinder type thing about 6inches long......has one wire going to the distributor......and then it sends power to the 4 HT leads.......

coil packs are modern technoledgy more or less.....

will try n find a picture of what i mean

Ok. Its cured itself somehow? Left it to get warm and now runs fine. Me thinkin it was just damp in the dizzee cap?
